Behaviour Philosophy
Kylie’s Klubhouse behaviour guidance philosophy is to encourage self-control, self-esteem, and respect for all children and adults. Kylie’s Klubhouse believes that all domains of learning are supported during play and through strong positive interactions with adults. Promoting healthy social and emotional development, including self-control, is one of the fundamental responsibilities of guiding children’s behaviour.
The early stages in child development is a critical time for children to learn how to control their thoughts, feeling, impulses, and behaviours. They are learning how to get along with peers and build meaningful friendships. Children are not born with these skills, caregivers must help to guide social and emotional skills. We know that when a child is given the opportunity and support to develop, it gives them the foundation required for success in their life. Kylie's Klubhouse supports programs like "Zones of Emotional Regulation" and "purple circles program" by incorporating games & actives into weekly learning.
Child development
It is important for adults to have reasonable clear expectations for children that are consistent for their developmental abilities. Caregivers who the time to offer developmentally appropriate verbal explanations and guidance will help children gain social problem -solving skills. Explanations for behaviour guidance vary greatly from family to family, and from culture to culture. Knowledge and respect for different value systems will help caregivers respond sensitively and appropriately to varying child rearing approaches.
Environment
Environment refers to the surroundings around a child (physical and social elements) Knowledge about the ways that a child’s environment can influence behaviours is an important part of planning their settings accordingly. Caregivers who are committed to nurturing and guiding young children create an atmosphere that fosters security and comfort.
Schedules and fixed routines are a way for children to gain trust. Schedules should be somewhat flexible but must provide children with clear expectations and transitions for what is to come.
